Five Reasons Why Patients Choose Invisalign

Five Reasons Why Patients Choose Invisalign

In the world of orthodontia, Invisalign and Invisalign Teen are well known for being discreet. The custom invisible aligners work to shift teeth into ideal alignment without braces, brackets, or bands. Just insert the aligner and it begins to work! Not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign, but those that may see numerous benefits. Five, to be exact.

Invisalign is virtually invisible – If the name doesn’t give it away, the clear plastic retainers probably do. Invisalign aligners are nearly undetectable! Patients can display their teeth without showcasing conventional metal braces, making Invisalign an orthodontic solution for those seeking to avoid noticeable appliances.

It’s easy to customize your mold – Edmonton orthodontist Dr. Hussain and the Pure Orthodontics team use Itero scanners to snap digital mold impressions for your Invisalign retainers. Patients can now receive customized retainers without the process of traditional impressions.

No tightening or prodding wires – Traditional braces include wires that require regular tightening. With Invisalign, there are no metal appliances to tighten or adjust. Simply wear the retainer! Patients may occasionally experience mild discomfort while adjusting to the latest retainer, but this pain quickly goes away.

Patients can still snack on sticky foods – With Invisalign treatment, there are no food restrictions. That’s because before eating, patients only have to pop out their Invisalign retainer, enjoy their favorite snacks, brush their teeth and snap the retainer back in. It’s that simple!

Achieve results in about a year – Every smile is unique and requires personalized care, so it’s tough to give an exact timeframe of treatment. On average, it takes 12-14 months for Invisalign to completely straighten teeth, but in some cases, only 6 months of treatment is needed. Industry advances have allowed for speedier results, so take advantage of new technology and consult with Dr. Hussain to learn more!
